Apparently anon loves me again. Lets be honest this is probably just a marketing ploy by SGHQ but I don't see any harm in dropping by for the next 3 months so thank you big sister/anon.
Anyway, on with the pointless chit-chat. I've recently read Jonny the Homicidal Maniac which is probably one of the best bits of Graphic Fiction I've ever encountered. If you haven't read it do, especially if you have depression issues, it's incredibly powerful, going from pure cathartic anger to being a wonderfully introspective journey about feeling apart from the rest of the world.
In case anyone reads this and remembers who I was, this is me in 2010:
- I have glasses now and as such actually look closer to my age.
- I'm still a PhD student, hopefully with a paper out soon (if it ever gets back from review). I'm also part of a major EU project on pollinators (but this isn't really the place to advertise that).
- I got a new house with a nice landlady... unfortunately we had a shit of a housemate but he's gone now (and has been ritually cleansed from the Xbox) so I now have 3 very good friends for housemates.
- I'm president of the Games and Role Play Society, which is stressful but great fun. We did a Cthulhu live LARP last month which was utterly hilarious and universally applauded as a great afternoon (unfortunately we didn't succeed in driving my house mate mad enough to believe that he was a sea lion).
- Since I used to angst/vent here enough I think it's worth stating that I've finally made real progress whit my depression, thanks massively to a few very good friends.
- I've drastically cut back on gigs and completely cut out festivals, largely because I've seen most bands I want to see now and I'm sick of all the bullshit that goes on in scenes. I know we were all young and angsty once but even when I was 17 I wasn't as bad as a lot of the people I've encountered in the Metal scene.
- I started listening to Brighter Death Now.
